Vertical Aviation International Accepting Nominations for 'Salute to Excellence'

Nominations Accepted Through September

Vertical Aviation International has opened nominations for 11 award categories in its Salute to Excellence program, and applications will be accepted through September 30th later this year.

The program now includes a fresh addition to the Salute to Excellence, the Harold Summers Legacy Award. It pays tribute to the late Summers, the association's deceased director of maintenance, and will be presented by his widow to the inaugural recipient. Vertical Aviation International now offers awards for service to the industry in communications, humanitarianism, education, safety, maintenance, airmanship, and lifetime achievement alongside legacy awards named after titans of the organization.

“Our Salute to Excellence Awards program has always recognized special achievement by individuals or groups throughout our industry,” said VAI President and CEO James Viola. “Our goal with this award is to recognize Harold’s passion for the industry, particularly his enduring efforts to improve every part of it.”

“Each of us knows someone in our industry niche who is worthy of an award,” said Tanya Kirchner, VAI director of conventions and Salute to Excellence Awards program coordinator. “There’s no need to rush to submit your nomination for that person. Take the time to explain their impact on the industry and provide supporting details. Show us who they are and why they deserve the award.”

The full list of categories, and the applications to nominate suitably deserving personnel, can be found at the association's site below.
